Dredging will begin on Agua Hedionda Lagoon By Ellen Wright
CARLSBAD—About every two years, the Agua Hedionda Lagoon is dredged of sand to keep water flowing freely to cool the Encina Power Plant. The lagoon hasn’t been dredged for four years and is due to begin within the coming weeks. “There’s a large sandbar in the lagoon consisting of sand that came from the beach,” said Kasia Trojanowska, parks planner for the city of Carlsbad. “The dredging puts the sand back on the beach so beach goers have a nice, sandy spot to place their towels and enjoy one of Carlsbad’s most popular attractions.” Cabrillo Power I LLC, which operates the Encina Power Station and owns the lagoon, will pump about sand out of the lagoon allows tidal circulation, which cools the Encina Power Plan.

Dietrich and more than 50 people attended Monday’s daylong Housing Element Workshop inside
